Google Storage Quota Now Unified Across Gmail and Drive

Beginning May 28th, 2013, Google will change to a new, simpler allowance for storage—one that's combined across Gmail and Drive (i.e. Docs). Google is replacing the current, separate storage allowances—25GB for Gmail and 5GB for Drive—with a single 30GB quota that will cover Gmail, Drive and Google+ Photos.

Here's how the change will affect you:

Each student now has a 30GB of included storage that can be used across Gmail, Drive, and Google+ Photos.

As before, files created in Docs, Sheets, and Slides, as well as photos in Google+ smaller than 2048 pixels, won't count against storage quota.

Please note that you will not be able to purchase additional storage if you approach your quota.

This change will not affect your Dana file storage and quota in any way.
